Heroes of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 812 A War Without Smoke II
The easiest way is to check these warehouses directly.

But this method cannot be used now. Doing so can only solve the immediate problem, and it is not good for the long-term.It will scare the legitimate capitalists in Shanghai.It is still necessary to use economic means to solve economic problems.

Hundreds of thousands of silver dollars are already on the way from the liberated area to Shanghai, and it is hoped that these hateful speculators will be hit by selling silver dollars this time.

But this matter is top secret, of course Zhang Fawu will not tell Zhang Lixing.

"Are you still teaching at Nanyang Model Middle School?" Zhang Fawu asked.

"Yes, you asked me, and I just remembered that the textbooks used in the school should be replaced immediately, the current textbooks will not work!" Zhang Lixing replied.

"Understood, other comrades will be responsible for this matter. I invited you here today to ask if you are willing to work in the government. I have lived in your home for a while, and I think you are a person who is passionate about revolution. , A person who is brave and dedicated. You sacrificed your life to attract the attention of those in the Secrecy Bureau. And you are a university graduate, educated and capable. We urgently need people like you now!" Zhang Fawu said.

"I, am I suitable for entering the office? He once said that I am a nerd and not suitable for staying in the government office. So at that time he asked someone to get me to teach in Nanyang Model Middle School." Zhang Lixing said hesitantly.

Zhang Fawu knew who Zhang Lixing was talking about.

"How can our government be compared with the governments of the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China? Now is a new society and a new country, where the people are the masters of the country! There are no dark things like those in the Republic of China period here! As long as you are diligent and down-to-earth Just do things for the people." Zhang Fawu said with a straight face.

When Zhang Lixing heard Zhang Fawu say this, he said excitedly: "Okay! I am willing to come!"

On June [-]rd, the ratio of silver dollars to banknotes reached [-]:[-], and the value of banknotes depreciated by more than three times in less than a week!
On June 31th, the government put [-] silver dollars into the market, and on June [-]th another [-] silver dollars were put into the market. However, these huge batches of silver dollars were quickly eaten up by speculators. One to two thousand!
During this period of time, not only silver dollars were put in, but a large amount of grain and coal prepared in advance were also put on the market, but they were all bought by speculators, and the prices of all basic materials on the market were soaring.

It seems that these speculators are more difficult to deal with than the army of the Republic of China.

Zhang Lixing, who had just worked in the government for more than a month, walked into Zhang Fawu's office.

"Sit down," Zhang Fawu said.

He looked at Zhang Lixing who had just sat down and said: "Now the organization has an important task to send you to HK, you go there to find Mr. Qian."

Zhang Lixing did not speak, he waited for Zhang Fawu to explain the content of the task.

"The following content must be kept strictly confidential and cannot be told to anyone. Now we are secretly hoarding supplies in various places. The main ones are two whites and one black, that is, rice, cotton and coal. But it is not enough to mobilize supplies from China. We I also hope to be able to purchase supplies from outside. Go to Hong Kong to find Mr. Qian, we need his help now." Zhang Fawu said.

Now that China has been blocked from outside, it is impossible to directly purchase materials internationally.Therefore, it can only be purchased quietly through middlemen and then transported to China.

"If he can help, what materials should we buy specifically?" Zhang Lixing asked.

"Shanghai needs 20 tons of coal every month, and coal is the top priority to buy. Without coal, power generation cannot be generated, factories cannot produce, and ordinary people cannot even cook. In addition to coal, the other two materials can also be purchased." Fa Zhang Five replied.

"When should I leave?" Zhang Lixing asked.

"Leave tomorrow. It's not conspicuous to mix with those who go to HK by boat. But you still have to be careful. In HK, spy activities are very rampant." Zhang Fawu instructed.

"Is there anyone there to meet me?" Zhang Lixing asked.

"I can give you an address. If you need help, you can find them. But it's best not to go. Doing so will easily expose yourself." Zhang Fawu replied.

"This is the method of transaction and the method of payment. When you discuss these with Mr. Qian, you must tell him carefully. You must keep it in your head, and burn the paper after you remember it." Zhang Fawu took a piece of paper Handed the paper to Zhang Fawu and said.

Five days later, Zhang Lixing went ashore in Victoria Bay alone.

HK looks far less prosperous than Shanghai, and simple houses for refugees can be seen everywhere.

Zhang Lixing found Leon Trading Company on Queen Street according to the address Qian Xiaobao gave him.

Here he saw Kawamoto Taro whom he had seen in Shanghai.

Qian Xiaobao met Zhang Lixing several times in Shanghai with Taro Kawamoto when he was on the mission of the intelligence department of the Kwantung Army.

"Is Qian Xiaobao here now?" Zhang Lixing asked.

"Yes, but he lives in the Royal Hotel, and now he is rebuilding the house. I can take you to see him right away." Kawamoto Taro replied.

Qian Xiaobao disliked that the house he bought on Mo Luo Temple Street was too dilapidated, so he invited a designer to draw up blueprints to build a new one.

Now the whole family lives in the Royal Hotel.

Qian Xiaobao is very, very busy now.During the day, I went to the racetrack to watch the horse races, and at night, I sneaked into the ballroom to dance.If he was too guarded to dance, he played billiards in the hotel's billiard room.

Qian Xiaobao soon became obsessed with this kind of sport, holding the pinball with a long pole and crackling.Soon he developed a good set of strokes, relying on playing billiards with those foreigners living in hotels, Qian Xiaobao often came back drunk every night without spending money.

Taro Hemoto brought Zhang Lixing to the hotel to look for Qian Xiaobao, but he couldn't find it in the ballroom, billiard room and bar where Qian Xiaobao often hangs around.

Kaoru Kawamoto came back and asked Kobayashi Kaoru. Kobayashi Kaoru didn't know where Qian Xiaobao was, but it was certain that Qian Xiaobao hadn't walked out of the hotel gate.Because Xiao Linxun secretly stuffed money into the waiter in the hotel, if Qian Xiaobao walked out of the hotel and messed around outside, she would know immediately.

Just when he didn't know where to find Qian Xiaobao, Qian Xiaobao came back alone with a black forehead.

"This damn foreigner hits the ball so hard! After I finish my jai a few days later, I'll hit him lying on the ground!" Qian Xiaobao said, clutching his forehead.

He lowered his head and covered his head without seeing Taro Kawamoto and Zhang Lixing in the room.

Today Qian Xiaobao discovered another exciting and fun thing, that is, two people hit the wall with a racket in a small confined space.

Qian Xiaobao just played for a while today when he was hit hard on the forehead by the ball bouncing off the wall.

This is Qian Xiaobao, no matter where he goes, he can find interesting things.
